Once, they were the hottest stars on TV. Now, 20 years later, the cast of Galaxy Quest are washed-up, anxiety-ridden has-beens who are hired to appear at electronics store openings and thrill their creepy die-hard fans at Sci Fi conventions. That is, until they are approached by some even more unusual than usual fans—alien rebels from another solar system who have been watching the reruns of the show, and don't know any better than to believe that the adventures—and the crew—are real. After engaging the services of Captain Peter Quincy Taggart (Allen), who thinks he's at a really elaborate fan convention when he's taken to their ship, they also secure Lieutenant Tawny Madison (Weaver), Dr. Lazarus (Rickman), and the rest of the bogus crew to help them in a real space mission. The alien planet scenes were appropriately filmed at Goblin Valley, Utah.
